GT research brings in $700 million / year in grants. Meanwhile at their Athletic Department...
 
I would've gone with Bernie at the beach dancing, but monkey poop flinging is also a good fit.

This is the difference between programs like us and programs like Alabama. An Alabama fan takes out a third mortgage on his single-wide to get these jerseys, and doesn't care that the money is all spent on a single recruit at a single strip club on one single night.

I think you have it reversed. That is what the recruits do for the coaches for a chance to have their H.S. highlights looked at and for the chance at an OV.

As regards the Gold jersies someone referenced, I think we have worn them once in a Game during the Johnson era - in OT game vs Weak Forest. Josh ran the ball into the South EZ and threw his arms up in the air.

Not sure and not sure if it was this Gold jersey.
 
I've always found it interesting that we talk about GT alumni and how "1 out of 6 are millionaires". Yet our Athletic Department is broke.

Grants to who and for who?

And meanwhile at their research dept and Administration, they have for over a century tried to sap every single penny they can from not only $ generated from athletics, but free trips to decades of bowl games and 2 final fours, and untold millions in PR built by athletics; but at the same time making it more difficult for same athletic dept to compete.

Yes, but our millionaires are geniuses. Right?

BOR is a genius for ditching his season tickets on the 50 yard line. This program isn't going anywhere with Bud Peterson and Mbob at the helm. 2 enormous losers.

Academics and Administration do not steal from Athletics, but go ahead and continue that myth. The two act as completely separate entities. Research brings in money that's spent on research funding, athletics brings in money that's spent on athletics. Breakdown is as follows:

GT Research brings in $700 million per year
GT Tuition brings in $300 million per year
GT Athletics brings in $65 million per year

This is very different than the balance at other schools:

uGA "Research" brings in $100 million per year
uGA Tuition brings in $300 million per year
uGA Athletics brings in $92 million per year

Alabama Research brings in $40 million per year
Alabama Tuition brings in $420 million per year
Alabama Athletics brings in $153 million per year
 
Some bum by the bell street underpass was wearing a tech shirt today so I assumed he was working for the AA and gave him a dollar.

This thread got tremendously entertaining overnight! Watching these vids and thinking about the comparison to the athletic dept had me laughing so hard I was crying.

Akinji, I have missed your since of humor. Hope you don't leave ST again. You make most threads worth the read. :thumb:

I'm sure there was one. I went back thru recent thread titles to find it. It had to have been one of these:

Sad But True

Ball Stealin'

Not Surprised at All

European Electrical Plugs

You Don't Have to be Very Good

Heartwarming Article About Rudy

UGA's rich alums all stick close to home as good old boy lawyers and politicians. Tech's millionaires move off to where the tech centers are and lose whatever connection they had to GT athletics to begin with. I'm just a non-80k sidewalk fan, but that's always been my uneducated guess.
